“Jordan enters the new century as a model Muslim civil society,” he declared.
My the expression "civil society" is being thrown around a lot. These guys all seem to have the same "playbook".

The US actually runs the UN when the rubber meats the road

True! but the game has changed during the last few years. New lines are being drawn in the sand.

What was, is no longer the norm. WHY?

The UN has stopped intervening in county to country disputes and is now in the business of global distribution of wealth. Each and every needy country that needs a marble will get one out of our bag.

we lose about every vote in the General Assembly 120-2.

We just have the Security Council veto which they are trying to do away with.

That "action plan" is only for "civil society". There is no "action plan" for "uncivil society".

UN, WTO, IMF, World Bank and others are going to be brought under the same Economic Security Council with the power to levy global taxes and the World and International Courts to back them up.

He did say managed global economy right? I've read all about this stuff, and its happening slow enough to get zero press attention.

And you really should have put this in your reply as it is very relevant...
To focus efforts in Johannesburg on achievable results, the Secretary-General’s report on sustainable development that was released in December, "Implementing Agenda 21", offers a suggested 10-point plan of action:
...since "Agenda 21" is where this comes from. I urge all to read that link.

and I would think that you have not joined your local United Nations Association either?? You be a bad nationalist like me! Look it up, there are chapters all across the US intent on helping form a world government. Its usually led and membered by the wealthy.

“I believe that perception is wrong,” Mr. Annan said. “But it is up to you to prove it wrong, with actions that translate into concrete results for the downtrodden, exploited and excluded…You must show that economics, properly applied, and profits, wisely invested, can bring social benefits within reach not only for the few but for the many, and eventually for all.”

A largely irrelevant policy prescription that will have modestly negative effects. The fixation on the UN in this neighborhood is a sad waste of energy on what is
important IMO. And College GOP, you are a bright and sensible lad. You should know better.

Look Torie, if you want to think of the United Nations as a benevolent organization I can't stop you.  If you wish to ignore that UNESCO develops education programs that are adopted by our DOE and the NEA, there's nothing that I can say that will make any difference to you.  If you can't see that our military is being destroyed in the interest of a smaller reactionary force that will only operate at the behest of the UN, nobody will be able to explain otherwise to you.  If you choose not to admit that the UN develops programs that NGOs in this nation implement to destroy our property and civil rights, that's up to you.  If you don't care that the United Nations is the sole cause the United States has opened it's borders to all comers, that okay, but it's all been laid out by them for some time.  When our nation comes under the full control of the UN, and it will because we are allowing it to develop a strangle hold on it, your kids and grandkids will be cursing the day you and others stood by and watched, while it all developed.

A largely irrelevant policy prescription?

A fixation?

Someone who believes as you do is bright and sensible?

I don't think so Torie.

There isn't an evil thing on the planet that some person or group didn't warn about in advance.  And when they did there were always those who made fun of them.  Look at the greatest evils of all time.  Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot and others.  People made warnings in advance of each.

The United Nations is a non-representative form of government.  You do not vote for it's members.  You do not vote for it's officers.  You do not vote for it's equivelant of president.  You have no voice in it's policies or it's decisions.  It is hell bent on taking away your way of life in the mistaken impression that the rest of the world will fair better if we are taken down.

Torie, you are missing the most important warning signs in the history of this planet.  Once world government is intrenched, there will be nobody to rescue your sorry hide.

We try to inform and wake people up. But if they won't accept what's right in front of them, there's not much one can do.

I love it when I bring out the best in you. I don't agree with a word you said, but I enjoyed reading it. Maybe tomorrow I will be moved to respond. But the hour is late at the moment.

UK United Nations Association

Its a pressure group to push for world socialism. Don't worry, we have them all over the US too. They usually have the wealthiest and most politically active socialists as members.

The UK's is particular active opposing sovereignty and such.
